Frequency response

This measurement is useful in determining
how accurately a given unit reproduces an
input signal.  The frequency response of the
SSE 6 is measured at a distance of 1-meter
using a 1 Watt (into the nominal impedance)
swept-sine input signal.  As shown in figure
1, the selected drivers in the SSE 6 combine
to give a smooth frequency response from
100 Hz to 17 kHz.

Directivity

Beamwidth is derived from the -6 dB points
from the polar plots (see figure 3), which are
measured in a whole-space anechoic
environment.  Q and Directivity Index are
plotted for the on-axis measurement
position.  These specifications provide a
reference to the coverage characteristics of
the unit and provide insight into proper
placement and installation in the chosen
environment.  The blending of the
components of the SSE 6 exhibit a desirable
beamwidth and directivity (figures 3 & 4)
suitable for sound reinforcement
applications.

Power handling

There are many different approaches to
power handling ratings.  Peavey rates this
loudspeaker system's power handling using
a full-range form of the AES Standard 2-
1984.  Using audio band 20 Hz to 20 kHz
pink noise with peaks of four times the RMS
level, this strenuous test signal assures the
user that every portion of this system can
withstand today's high technology music.
This rating is contingent upon having a
minimum of 3 dB available amplifier
headroom.

Harmonic distortion

Second and third harmonic distortions vs.
frequency are plotted in figures 5 & 6 for two
power levels.  Ten percent (10%) of rated
input power and either one percent (1%) of
rated input power or 1 Watt, whichever is
greater.  Distortion is read from the graph as
the difference between the fundamental
signal (frequency response) and the desired
harmonic.  As an example, a distortion curve
that is down 40 dB from the fundamental is
equivalent to 1% distortion.

Mounting

Caution:

Before attempting to mount this

speaker, consult a certified structural
engineer.  The speaker may fall due to
improper installation, resulting in serious
injury and property damage.  DO NOT
suspend or mount any other product or
device from this SSE 6 enclosure. The
maximum enclosure angle 45°.  Use only
Grade 5 hardware or better.  All associated
rigging is the responsibility of others.

Architectural & engineering
specifications

The loudspeaker system shall have an
operating bandwidth of 100 Hz to 17 kHz.
The nominal output level shall be 90.0 dB
when measured at a distance of 1 meter with
an input of 1 Watt.  The nominal impedance
shall be 8.0 ohms.  The maximum
continuous power handling shall be 75
Watts, with maximum program power of 150
Watts, a peak power input of at least 300
Watts and a minimum amplifier headroom of
3 dB.  The nominal radiation geometry shall
be 120 degrees in the horizontal plane and
130 degrees in the vertical plane.  The
outside dimensions shall be 16.41 inches
high by 9.95 inches wide by 9.47 inches
deep.  The weight shall be 21 lbs.  The
loudspeaker system shall be a  model SSE 6.
